Is that the Honda HSM1590i? It sure looks like it. I didn't think they made those any more. No doubt with skid steer on the treads it would be a breeze to turn. That's also a hybrid engine as well right?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;I bet it weighs a ton, but probably moves snow with authority!&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

It is actually the 1336i (which is current). It will turn about its own center (with the tracks moving in opposite directions).
The motor is gas only but the drive is 2 24V motors (one for each track) which the the 'hybrid' part. and it is about 500lbs.
One can move it out of the garage on electric only and start it outdoors (no fumes)
It throws snow at least 50' and is rated to move 90 tons per hour.
The drive adjusts to the snow load automatically The auger height is powered (and adjustable on the fly).

All very nice but *not* cheap

here is a link to the dealer page:

We have over a kilometre of driveway with hille that are a challenge to a 4wd but it is no problem to this toy m
